Thinkpad L380, Omarchy 3.1.7

What's wrong?

If the current active window has a child process, then Super+Enter sets the working directory of the newly opened terminal to the cwd of the child process. This is great when the current active window is a terminal, and the child process is a shell. This is less great when the current active window is Chromium or Firefox, and the child process is some random web process, with cwd /usr/bin.

Why

Looking at ~/.config/hypr/bindings.conf, we see the following:

bindd = SUPER, RETURN, Terminal, exec, $terminal --dir="$(omarchy-cmd-terminal-
cwd)"

Of particular interest, is the command omarchy-cmd-terminal-cwd.

We can reproduce the underlying issue by running the following, and ensuring that the active window is Chromium before the sleep finishes:

sleep 3 && omarchy-cmd-terminal-cwd

If you managed to focus Chromium before the sleep finished, you will see the output /usr/bin.

Looking at the source for omarchy-cmd-terminal-cwd, it is immediately clear why this happens:

You can see that it assumes that the current active window is a terminal, and that the last child PID belongs to a shell spawned by that terminal.

But this is not a valid assumption, if the current active window is not a terminal, and the last child PID of that window is not a shell.

I'll link a PR with this fix.
